My wife and I live about a mile from the Potomac & Shenandoah rivers here in WV and have been throwing the idea around about getting a small run about for a while. This was a 1 owner, barn stored lake boat. It cleaned up pretty good, has a West Bend 40 HP Golden Shark engine, that turns over with great compression and was said to be running a few years ago, and is sitting on an old style boat trailer that has coil springs and small VW beetle size shocks.
Anyway, I am trying to find out the exact model and year of it. Is a 14' MFG "tape measure from the front to the engine", the dash has a center mounted, alloy lid covered compartment and the steering wheel says custom. I looked at all of the pictures and brochure info I could find on MFG but didn't see this model listed, unless I just missed it.
My plans for the boat once I make sure I can get it registered properly include replacing the entire steering cable setup with a new kit, giving the old West Bend 40 a complete once over, or find a newer replacement, all new interior in the boat itself including the floor, paint and last but not least new bushings in the trailer or find a newer trailer all together!
Thanks for having me and any info you can give us on our new boat project! Matt
